My parents wanted a low impact hike and this was a dream!! There’s a creek that runs along the whole trail and if you go a little off trail where the creek runs over a mountain you get a breathtaking view of the cascades!! About a mile walk 20-40 min based on your speed! We meandered and enjoyed every step!

Price Lake is a gorgeous lake right off the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina and perfect for canoeing or kayaking. You can reserve a certain number of campsites online, and then the rest of them are f...
